God Can Do Anything   

The focus of this family time is to use five easy steps to teach your family that God can do anything, and that’s why He sent Jesus to save us from all the wrong things we do. That’s the greatest gift! 

MEMORY VERSE: 

“Thanks be to God

for His gift that is too wonderful for words.” 

2 Corinthians 9:15

Learn the Memory Verse together and say it throughout the week to help your family remember and apply what they have learned.

STEP 1. GATHER!

Use this time to begin Family Worship Night and have fun!

Holiday Pictionary

It's Pictionary, but made festive! For this easy game, family members will come up with Christmas characters, icons, and imagery, then write each on a slip of paper. Fold the papers and toss them in a bowl, then take turns picking one and trying to draw it while everyone else tries to guess who or what you're drawing. 

STEP 2. WORSHIP!

• Sing and have fun while worshiping then pray. Take a moment here to thank God for your family and your time together!! 

STEP 3. BIBLE!

Watch the Bible story video and/or read Luke 1:26-56 from the Bible.

 Use these questions and points to have a conversation with your children about the Bible story. 

STEP 4. DISCUSSION!

Use these questions and points to have a conversation with your children about the Bible story.

Mission Moment

Joni Eareckson Tada

(1949-)

Do you like running and jumping? Do you like swimming and kicking a ball about?

Joni Eareckson Tada liked all those things too. She liked to run and swim and ride horses and play tennis. But then, one day, she dived into a lake and hurt her neck. She hurt her neck so badly that she couldn't move her legs or her feet. She couldn't move her arms or her hands either. That made Joni very sad - then she remembered her friend Jesus.

She knew that Jesus was with her and loved her. She knew that bad things happened to Jesus too and that he understood. She knew that one day, when she went to live with her friend Jesus forever, She would be able to run and, jump again.

So Joni has spent her life telling people about her friend Jesus. In books, on the radio, in talks and through pictures painted with a brush her mouth, Joni has told people how Jesus is always with her, always loves her and always helps her. She has told them how Jesus loves everybody - whether they can run or not; Whether they can ump or not; whether they can see or not; Whether they can hear or not sand how one day Jesus friends will all run and jump and hear and see when they live with him forever.

STEP 4. Pray!

Pray: Hey God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to show us that You can do anything! Please help us to believe that every day and to ask You for the things that we need. We love You! Amen!
